FILTER OUTLET HOSE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
The outlet hose should be smooth bore (not corrugated) pipe installed over as short a distance as
possible with no kinks or bends.
We recommend that Blagdon smooth bore clear hose or Blagdon heavy duty smooth bore black hose are used.
The water level in the filter outlet chamber after the carbon wool cartridge should not be higher than
the outlet fitting when in use.
See Flow detail diagram maximum outlet chamber level. (page 9)
WARNING: If there is insufficient drop in height from the outlet pipe or excessive bends or
kinks this will cause the filter to drain poorly allowing the outlet chamber to fill above the
maximum recommended level.
This will increase filter maintenance and may cause the filter to overflow.
CONNECTING INLET HOSES
The recommended hose size for
your Minipond filter is stated in
the filter performance and
specification chart.
Always secure hose with a jubilee clip.
Warming the hose in a bucket of
boiling water can aid fitting.
Always ensure that the smaller
diameter hosetail is cut off and
removed to prevent reduced filter performance.
Use the shortest possible hose lengths to minimise flow restrictions.
Avoid folds and kinks in the hose, which will reduce flow and filter performance.
